When this dirty administration plays games with the Epstein files on this, the deadline day for releasing the information, listen to what Congressman Thomas Massie, R, KY, has to say about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Compare it to the excuses you will hear today, all weekend long, and for months and years to come.  They’ve been redacting those files for months; at times the FBI was redacting 24/7.  The dog will continue to eat their homework.

University of Pennsylvania professor Marci A. Hamilton discusses the anticipated release of the Jeffrey Epstein files under the Epstein Transparency Act and the Trump administration’s expected efforts to limit disclosure, set against the broader context of society’s evolving response to child sex abuse cover-ups. Professor Hamilton argues that despite attempts to suppress the truth, a powerful cultural shift toward justice for survivors and public demand for accountability will ultimately defeat the efforts to protect powerful abusers and enablers.

My name is Michael Farquhar.  I am a survivor of child sexual abuse connected to the same historical network of crimes later documented through cases such as the Oakland County Child Killings, North Fox Island, and related institutional failures.

This work is about survivors who lived, and it is also about the children who did not.  The boys and girls who were abused, silenced and murdered are not abstractions or historical footnotes.  They are the reason this history cannot be treated as closed or merely academic.

For many years, my role was limited to telling my own story.  I participated publicly in documentaries, podcasts, and published works, including Children of the Snow and The Clown and the Candyman, as well as multiple books that document these crimes and the failures surrounding them.  My name and experiences are part of the public record, but they exist within a much larger and more tragic context.

When I first began reaching out to government officials and law enforcement agencies, I did so with urgency and volume.  I shared everything I knew, everything I had lived, and everything I feared would be lost if not placed on record immediately.  In hindsight, I understand that my initial communications were overwhelming in both scope and format.  The magnitude of the harm was real, but the lack of structure made it difficult for institutions to determine responsibility, jurisdiction, or next steps.

Since that time, I have gained clarity and discipline in how I approach this work.  I have shifted from volume to precision, from urgency to structure, and from broad appeals to targeted, responsible communication.

What I am doing now is deliberate.  I am documenting my firsthand experiences and survivor communications in a consistent, chronological and verifiable way.  I am organizing records and references that already exist across media, agencies, and institutions.  I am identifying where jurisdiction, responsibility, and record custody overlap or break down, and I am communicating with appropriate entities to reduce fragmentation and procedural paralysis.

This effort is not only about accountability for harm that occurred, but about responsibility toward the children whose lives were taken and whose cases remain unresolved, misunderstood, or inadequately addressed.  Their absence is part of the record, and their silence is itself evidence of failure.

I am not conducting investigations, directing outcomes, or making accusations.  I am offering cooperation, context, and continuity so that lawful review and coordinated action are possible.  My goal is to make progress achievable where complexity, sensitivity, and fear have previously caused stagnation.  I am doing this because survivors deserve more than acknowledgment, and because the children who were murdered deserve more than remembrance.  They deserve a system willing to confront what happened, how it was allowed to happen, and why it was never resolved.

Call for Information and Documentation

As part of this effort, I am inviting researchers, journalists, survivors, family members, and members of the public who possess relevant documentation to come forward in a responsible manner.

I am not seeking speculation, rumors, or secondhand accounts.  I am seeking records, contemporaneous notes, correspondence, reports, references, or other documented materials that may help clarify historical facts, institutional actions, or points of failure, particularly where the lives of children were lost or permanently altered.

If you have information or documentation you believe may be relevant and appropriate to share, you may contact me directly at:

Farquhar_mike@icloud.com

Please include context for the material, its source if known, and any limitations on its use.  Submissions will be handled carefully and shared with appropriate parties only when lawful and appropriate.

This invitation is extended in good faith and with respect for the gravity and sensitivity of these matters.
